Inclined Plane Power for A Level Physics

Calculate power on an inclined plane with this interactive simulation.

What this tool shows

How angle affects the force needed on a slope
The relationship between force, velocity and power
Why steeper slopes need more power at the same speed

OCR A relevance

Module 3: Work, energy and power
Module 3: Forces in action
Newton’s laws on inclined planes

Try these tasks

Vary the angle and record the power required.
Keep angle constant and vary mass. Is power directly proportional to mass?
Find the angle at which the required power doubles.
